Summary:
The city of Waleska, Georgia has only one school, R.M. Moore Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 1,027 students. The school is part of the Cherokee County School District, which is ranked 28th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
R.M. Moore Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools over the past 3 years, with proficiency rates below the county and state averages on the Georgia Milestones assessments. This suggests the school may be struggling to meet academic standards. Additionally, with over 62% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a high-poverty student population, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance and may require additional resources and support.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,838, which is higher than the national average, and its small size with a student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1, R.M. Moore Elementary School has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes. The data indicates that the school's consistent underperformance in statewide rankings warrants further investigation to identify the root causes and potential strategies for improvement.
